Vehicular and pedestrian routes are visually open, direct, and well used. The security
of the development is not compromised by excessive permeability. SBD recommends the use of one main entrance into an enclosed commercial development serving both vehicles and pedestrians or separate entrances that are located next to one another to
aid mutual supervision.

There is no clear demarcation between the public highway and the commercial development.
Design and surfaces of the through road are visually similar to the surrounding
public roads, encouraging use as a cut through.

Routes for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles run alongside one another and
are not segregated unless there are safety issues. The security of the development is not
compromised by excessive permeability, such as allowing the criminal legitimate access to
the rear or side boundaries of buildings.

SBD recommends the use of one main entrance into an enclosed commercial
development serving both vehicles and pedestrians or separate entrances that are
located next to one another to aid mutual supervision. There should be clear demarcation
between the roadway and the footway and a safety barrier between the two may be
necessary to protect pedestrians from large vehicles/plant.
